Mr Hamuel Porkington

Meet Mr. Hamuel Porkington His closest friends call him “Hammy” A special hard working farmer With an extremely industrious family With his pretty and faithful wife “Porksy” And their ten little chopperettes They're known in the town of Swillsville As the nicest pig family you've met For providing hot meals to the needy And sheltering them from the cold They've received a special recognition One of the greatest stories told The President recently visited them Warmly welcomed by the Porkingtons They treated their guest to Hominy Grits And homemade Tennessee bourbon The President granted them a special honour Which everyone was in total accord With tree bark, worms and garbage for life And a prestigious achievement award So raise your pitch forks, raise 'em on high In salute of this family of corkers Heroes like these don't come by very often They're a very special breed of porkers ©Jack Ellison 2012
